Ah, the halcyon days of the '90s, when we humans dwelled placidly under the dot-com bubble, foolishly investing all of our money in Beanie Babies and plucking out most of our eyebrow hairs....

People with views like his (I'm looking at you, Sarah Palin!) always seem to put their feet in their mouths. But the politicians taking a public stance on this whose children do find themselves young, unmarried, and pregnant seem to be mostly middle to upper-middle class. In that case, it's easy for them to say that…

Totally agree. I think Darlene's "poverty" is different from a poverty that is cyclical and can be passed down from generation to generation.

But how will I feel morally superior to strangers, Ari? How will being a tactful human being fulfill that need?!

They really need to quit pushing other down to make themselves taller. I have grew up dirt poor, upper poor, then to upper middle class. It felt like everyone wanted to tell us we were doing something wrong.

I read this story off of a reddit link, and a lot of people also came to her defense in keeping the car. The fact is, a known vehicle with a known maintenance history is a relatively smart decision over selling and getting a possible clunker. Controlling risk is just as important as controlling finances.

I applied for LAPD last year and was rejected because I routinely "associate" with a known felon. Apparently the fact that I haven't cut all ties with my brother displays an unacceptable level of "immaturity" to police background investigators, which is most likely the root cause of this. If you've never spent time…

LGBT people too.

It doesn't need to be said. Society knew this was happening and turned their cheek. Now... You can't deny it's existence when it's in your face.

Better screening would be ideal but you have to think about the type of person who goes for that position also. I honestly think there are people who enjoy helping and protecting the community, but I think that the number of people who want to be in law enFORCEment for all the wrong reasons would be staggering. Also,…

Black people from the 'pre cameraphone era' are calling. They're here to say I told you so. Make no mistake, the police have been like this and worse for many many many years.

Then women who oppose this decision represent a small group of women? Most adult women in my life use birth control to — control their fertility. Why is this controversial? Why is family planning controversial?

Says the woman who sits where she sits because of feminists before her.

It worked for me. Consistent workouts focused on form and small movements gave me ab definition, toned everything and I'm continuing to lose weight. But like everything, the workout that works for you might not be what works for everyone else.

"Here's your problem. See this support column? Looks like it was designed by a guy who learned calculus at a school which spent its money on a football stadium instead of a decent teacher."

I think the thing that makes them insane isn't so much the number of kids directly, but rather their fiefdom they are building out of the children.

People always want to write them off as being super aggressive and unfriendly, but I've never had a problem with female softball players.

Still can't un-see this: it looks like a snake swallowing the last bit of a 911.

Giant D Pillars. Have you sat in new cars lately? 90% of them have blind spots that could hide a tank!

Chrome trim around windows. I am stunned so many new cars still come with that tacky bullshit
